An Englishman dressed in the height
Of fashion descended from a street car in
Paris and inquired of a gentleman just
)assing the way to the Pantheon. Il
I'M going there myself" was the re-
ponse, land shall be happy to show you
he sights" His service was gladly ac-
opted. Having done the Pantheon, the
E~nglishman invited his French guide to
ettle accounts by accepting a lunch at
The nearest cafe. Having eaten ard
drank his fill, the Frenchman took his
departure and the Englishman called for
The waiter to settle his account. The
reckoning made, he put his hand into his
pocket and uttered a terrible cry, screwed
up a grimace yet more terrible, jumped
mp and upset half a dozen chairs and two
tables, and, brushing past the guests and
walters, all dumb with establishment, ran
out into the street and cried at the top of
his voice: stop, theft" Thanks to the
extraordinary development of his legs, he
overlook his guide and grabbed him.
Police enough had already been attracted
% the spot, and they both were taken to
he station. There a most amusing dis
covery was made. The French guide, it
is true, had the Englishman's purse il his
pocket, but his WI was gone, and that
was found in the Englishman's pocket.
The two polite friends had been picking
each others pocket.--Chicago Herald.

1t is when a young physician has be-

Business as it is done today is, in some
Of its aspects, a sham and a snare. 1t
in the method jobbers have of placinC
goods that many a small dealer finds h.
1uagmire. Think of the swarms O!
RUNNERS which infest the domain OF
the retailer. The latter is importuned t,
buy, buy, buy everything from a needle

he commercial world today. The mean
by which these drummers induce pur
chases is too long a story to tell. Enough
to say IS that each n must sell goods.
and often the most questionable mean.
arc resorted to in order to make sales.
Indeed, whether by statesmen on the roac
or in the store, the merchant is so impor
tuned and logged that he is often in
iuced to give an order and an hour after
hardly know what he bought. The
whole idea of business today seems to me
20 lie pull, haul and scramble, rather than
cool, deliberate, legitimate business.
Hence, say from this system of over
stocking largely results tho failures of
small merchandise. S. LAYTON in

The female barber, with a pair Of
tweezers, removes every outlying hair
from the region of the lady's eyebrows.
1t is the ambition of every Persian woman
that her eyebrows shall meet, or at least
appear to do SO. So attractive are eye
brows that meet that they are called the
bridge of love-" The first care, then,
of the Persian beauty is with a little pencil
of antimony to unite her eyebrows, and
hen she proceeds to make them appear
of unnatural thickness. Her eyelashes
are penciled, too, in a manner not m
known to Il countrywomen.-Pan Mall

Capt. Ben Brown was an attorney for
several years after the war. In interro-
eating witnesses, if his client had been q
soldier, he would never fail to bring out
that fact, and in his speech to the jury
he, with fervid emphasis, would eXclaim
that his client ''had breathed the red
flame Of battle Once when he got of
his winning piece of oratory, the attorney
on the other side met him as follows:

MOOD.

n Is good to strive against wind and rain
In the keen, sweet weather that autumn brings.
Tho wild horse shakes not the drops from hIs
name,
The wild bird flcks not the wet from her wings,
In gladder fashion than | toss free
The mist dulled gold of my bright hairs flag,
What clme the winds on their heel wings lag,
And all the tempest is friends with me,
None can reach me to wound or cheer;
Sound OF weeping and sound of song
Neither may trouble me: l can hear
But the winds loud laugh, and the sibilnnt.
strong,
Lulled rush out OF the rain through the sapless
weeds.
o rare, dear days, ye are here again!
/ will WOO ye as maidens are wooed Of men
With oaths forgotten ana broken creedsl
Se shall not lack for the suns fierce shining
With the gold of my hair l will make ye glad;
For your blown, red forests give no replning-
Here are my lips: Will ye still be sads
Comfort ye, comfort ye, days of cloud,
Days of shadow, of wrath, of blast
l who love yo am come at last.
Laugh to welcome mel cry aloudi
For Wild am I as thy winds and rains
Free TO come and go as they:
Loves moon sways not the tides of my veins;
There Is no voice that can bid me stay.
Out and away on the drenched, brown leaf
Out to the great, glad hear. or the year!
Nothing 70 grieve for, nothing to fear;
Fetterless, lawless, a maiden feel

The Indians who still live on reserva-
tions in the state of New York are in
creasiug in number. The popular i'm.
preston that our Indians are dying out
seems to be incorrect so far as it relates
to Indians who have abandoned migra-
tory life and become partly or wholly
civilized. The Cherokees of the Indian
territory have nearly doubled in number
since 1910, and the remnant of the Six
Nations, now settled on farms in Canada,
numbers 5000 souls.-Home Journal.

Brain Power of womanIand.

But before we can form any opinion as
to the fitness of their sex to produce half
a dozen immortals in q millennium we
must first ask if historic and social in
luences have produced a generation Of
womanly precursors, and a group of
women of talent, out of which the miss
ing immortal might have emerged. Ii
does not quite settle the question to say.
what Is no doubt true, that if women had
stronger brains they might nave pro-
duced both. The brains both of men
and women exercise themselves habitu-
ally upon such stuff as the customs of
their age and race set before them.
An enormous part of the brain power
Of mankind has been spent, or wasted, in
shifting the PhIlistines hip and thigh; an
enormous part of the brain power OF
womankind has been spent, or wasted.
in cajoling Samson. But the victories OF
Samson pave the way for those Of Saul,
and the victories of Saul lay the founda-
tons Of the throne of Solomon. The
daughters OF DelilGh found no dynasty.
though they hein to upset u good many.
In other words, by following the fashion
which required men to fight, the men on
the winning side may drift into social anC
political relations favorable to the growth
of civilization, while the primitive divis-
Of labor, which confined woman &c
the tent or homestead, cut them OF, as Il
class, from the educational influences Of
and free association with powerful
Hero and there a woman of ex-
ceptional capacity and position might ap-
pear by chance among the rulers Of men,
but the opportunity would be owing to her
connection by birth or marriage with the
privileged class, and would make no open
ing for others of her sex.-Nineteenth

The natives of Norfolk speak in q sing
song voice, with n rising infection, which
reaches its highest pitch on the last word
of h sentence. l am assured by people
learned in the Norfolk dialect that the
vocabulary contains but little slang, and
that many of the words that 1 used when
a boy, and which sound so oddly now,
are pure Saxon. Nevertheless, if you
visit Norfolk you must be prepared to
hear q rivulet called a ''beck," a house
flannel o "dwile," a pitcher a ''gotch,"
a ditch a ''holl," a small tub a killer"
a narrow lane a ''loke, " a small field a
''pightle" and strong beer ''nogg."
You will be addressed on all sides as
How du you du, bor?" the last
word being a contraction of neighbor.
The braying of a donkey will sound no
more melodious to your ears because it is
called a 'dickey, while a Norfolk girl is
none the less attractive for being called
''mawther."
A Norfolk man will "crowd" a barrow,
not wheel it: while his little son will
''jifle" at church, not fdget. Spring
lambs down there are "kedgey," not
sprightly; while ducks enjoy themselves
in a '~swidge'' instead of a puddle. The
tart and juicy gooseberry becomes a

''shuck" peas, would ''shug'' (shake)
a cocktail, if such a thing were known
there, and .'skink'' (serve) out beer; while
water just frozen is said to DO ''laid. " The

country is called ''roke;'' and if you failed
to understand this very pure Saxon it is
more than likely the honest Norfolkese
would put you down us a little "'shanney,"
